Omo, where do I even start from🤦, this my two eyes have seen 👀 things. Thank God I'm still alive despite all what social media has shown me.
Socialmedia has shown me a lot, but then let me pick few. There was a time like that I was on Instagram, was just busy scrolling and watching reels and all, only for me to stumble on this popular influencer. She didn't post a video o, it was just a picture with a caption, caption says, "boring life is not soft life o, see me living my soft life on a yacht." That particular caption hit me. She was there on the yacht with this big coconut with a straw inside of it. I don't remember what name they refer to it as. An here I am, scrolling on Instagram with a plate of garri in front of me, I couldn't even get cold water to drink it. I was left to wonder if it was me she was actually talking too.
The following morning was a Friday, I woke up very early and did my prayer with haste as if I was rushing somewhere. My friend had told me about a guy like that, he asked me to search for him online, he was a food critique. In my quest to find him, I stumbled on one fitness influencer.
I saw that the man just started a session, he tagged it, "The 10minute transformation." I looked at the man and looked at my big tummy, what a difference 😁, quickly I rushed out of bed and began imitating him. Believe me, less than 3minutes into the exercise, I was already breathing like a heavy load was placed on my head, my spirit seems to have left me, I just told myself, "baba stand-up, that life no be your own." And sincerely, that life isn't mine, maybe not yet.
My phone was still there, I was just looking from where I was sitting near my bed, my legs aren't functioning again. I just sat there, social media cannot come and push me to early grave.
Less than two weeks ago, I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't like what my face was like, and if you know me so well, you will know I have skin routines, even though non seems to have really helped me, except one like that, it cost me a fortune though. So, I stopped and my face came back with it's roughness, pimples and all again. So, about two weeks ago, I was on Tiktok and I saw a girl posted her skincare routine, I was just like, let's see.
This girl begin to bring them out one after the other, she named her skincare, "The thirty steps." Believe me, it was indeed thirty. She brought out different things, ranging from cleansers, to toner, serums, sunscreens, vitamin c, moisturizers, face creams..... And all. I just looked at my small stool, what do I have, about five, when she wants to conclude, she said, "you can't be using just four of these and say you are doing skincare." I know she was talking to me.
Lastly, there was this challenge I saw on Tiktok sometimes ago, people were dipping their face inside cold water. It seems they were doing who lasts longer. That was how I decided to join too. Well, you should know what ended it, I couldn't feel myself for the next 5min after I removed my face, it seems my blood has frozen, it was like....I can't even describe it. Well, that was the last time for me.
These people on socialmedia are just acting for us, me o, I cannot come and kill myself and somebody's son or daughter cannot come and pressure me.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to read through, kindly do well to stop by my blog
